Above: This photo taken on Dec. 22, 1914, shows the view looking north at the west side of 20th Avenue between Anza and Balboa streets. Drifting sand from an empty lot covers the sidewalk. In the background standing together are 539, 535 and 531 20th Ave., built in 1913. Photo courtesy of a private collector/Western Neighborhoods Project/OpenSFHistory.
Below: Trees block the view of the trio of 1913 homes. What was once a pile of sand is now the location of homes worth many millions of dollars. Photo taken Sept. 25, 2023. Photo by Michael Durand.
